A Suggestion to the Directors.

The Indianapolis players having a dear
experience with the umpires. Yesterdays game
at Chicago, through superior playing, belonged
to the indianapolis club, but the fatal error and
the umpire again combined at the wrong time to
give the victory to Auson's batters. As a whole ,,
the playing retrieved greatly the exhibition
of Tuesday, and shows that Glasscock's nine
do excellent work. But everybody knows
that the nine has weak men we'll very good
PLAYERS. The directors of the club should not
look at expense in Iemedyine the defects If
they we'll off financially. they ought.
without further dilly -dallying, expend money
in getting strong mon to replace
the weak ones. This should be
DONE matter what it costs. Base ball
requires large expenditures to keep aver
age showing of excellence, but the Indianapolis
club is in danger of losing that grade il one or
two better men are not obtained for certain DO
sitions. Again. the management should learn
through the experience of other clubs. Two
pitchers will be sufficient to do the heavy work
for the remainder of the Boyle and
Heay should alternate, while Kirby should be
held for use in case of accidents.
